First Reviews (as if they matter much)
Early critical consensus from Cannes is fairly good. Apparently the film comes in just over two hours, has lots of action, fantastic effects, story elements that have been in the works for quite some time yet is reportedly a bit lighter on the charm of the original trilogy.
Of course some critics are bound to pan it in any case and critical reviews mean little to fans. This is just the first indicator of good (yet not completely glowing) reviews. Temple of Doom is the weakest film of the original trilogy, but the film far exceeds most anything in theaters this year!
I wonder how the new Indy will fare next to Iron Man? It seems to be the summer picture to beat.
